This is a small release with a couple API breaks.
It doesn't bring major new features, and focuses on:
* Providing logger parameters as part of the medialib initialization
* Allow a media to be marked as played without updating its progress

It also hides the conversion of media to external media as an internal
detail, in order to simplify the implementation of entry points removal
for the applications.

  with it (#429)

This is a minor stable release that prevents folders at the root of a
removable device to lack a name when the device is missing (#396)

MediaLibrary 0.10.1

This version fixes some potential crashes or database corruption:
- An external audio file with multiple tracks would cause a constraint
  violation. This is worked around for now and is properly handled in
  0.11.x

  which would cause them to grow exponentially each time a rescan was
  performed. They are now properly reset to 0

  case sensitive way. Now it will be performed in a case insensitive way
